Start with the workload
Define whether the server will run a web platform, SaaS application, database, storage workload, hosting environment or compute process. CPU frequency, core count and RAM should follow the workload rather than a generic idea of a powerful server.
Design storage for failure as well as capacity
Usable disk capacity is only one requirement. Decide whether RAID is necessary, whether write performance matters, how much growth is expected and how backups will be handled. ServerGeorgia dedicated servers do not include automatic backups by default, so an S3-compatible backup target can be added separately.
Read local and international bandwidth separately
A local 1 Gbps port does not mean that every internet destination is available at 1 Gbps. Standard ServerGeorgia dedicated infrastructure distinguishes 1 Gbps local Georgia connectivity from 50 Mbps international connectivity, both with unmetered traffic. This distinction should be part of workload planning.
Plan IP requirements early
Additional IPv4 addresses can be requested, but the requirement should be justified and included in the quotation. IPv6 can be available depending on the selected facility and network configuration.
Understand the commercial terms
ServerGeorgia uses a three-month minimum contract for dedicated servers. The one-time setup fee is 60 percent of the monthly server fee. These costs should be visible before approval rather than appearing after the technical decision is made.
Choose unmanaged or request management
Dedicated servers are unmanaged by default. Your team controls the operating system and application stack. If you need monitoring, updates, security hardening or operational administration, request a separate managed infrastructure scope.
